The La Tour de Saint-Julien-Montdenis tower and the adjoining building house the Musée Ardoisier and the municipal library. The Chapelle de Tourmentier in Saint-Julien-Mont-Denis is associated with a protected cultural object, the framed bas-relief “Vierge de Pitié”.
The historic site of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne (Convent) is located in the vicinity of Saint-Julien-Mont-Denis. The Fort du Télégraphe is also nearby. In the wider regional surroundings of Saint-Julien-Mont-Denis are the Fort du Sappey and the Fort du Replaton.
